Clinton considers compromise
The Associated Press
BOSTON — President Clinton opened the door yesterday to a health-care compromise short of his once-firm demand of coverage for all Americans and urged Congress to stay in session until a reform plan is passed.
Taking a conciliatory approach in what had been billed as a showdown with Senate GOP leader Bob Dole, Clinton also said he could abandon his plan's requirement of employer-provided insurance — if another way could be found to cover most Americans.
After Clinton's speech to the National Governors' Association, White House aides hurried to counter any impression that the president was yielding ground on any major goals. But they acknowledged a shift from demanding coverage of all Americans
to putting the country on the track "toward universal coverage," as Clinton put it..
After more than a year of insisting on guaranteed coverage for everyone, Clinton said he realized no plan could do that. He didn't say what he would settle for, but did assert that "you've got to get somewhere in the ballpark of 95 percent" to guarantee cost controls and other components critical to national reform.
While Clinton said he was open to a financing mechanism other than his proposal that employers be required to provide coverage and pay most of the bill, he attached a condition: that someone prove to him another method would accomplish his goal of covering most.
For his part, Dole also assured the governors he was open to compromise.
"Despite the recent ratcheting up of the rhetoric
by the White House and the Democratic National Committee, I think the seeds of a bipartisan plan still exist if the administration is willing to come our wav.
In their back-to-back speeches, neither Dole nor Clinton as much as raised his voice, and each asserted his plan was closest to the health-care framework endorsed by the governors last winter.
That proposal called for reforms that would allow people to take their insurance with them from job to job and would prohibit insurers from denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. Also, it called for subsidies to help low-income Americans and small businesses buy coverage.
Musicians to focus on debate
Trying to rally the governors to his side, Dole said he would try to replace the federal Medicaid spending caps that are a critical financing element of his plan.
'Rock the System' campaign to educate on reform plans
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Helped by the Beastie Boys spreading the word on MTV, and hip, glossy booklets being handed out at record stores, a group that registered 350,000 young people in the last presidential election now wants to tune them in to health reform.
Yesterday, "Rock the Vote" got help from House Speaker Thomas Foley, D-Wash., in launching its newest initiative — "Rock the System."
The California-based grassroots group plans to distribute one million copies of a nonpartisan guide to health reform. Three public service announcements will feature Mike D of the Beastie Boys, George Clinton and the all-female band L7.
"There is a problem. There's alienation. There's distance." 27-year-old Nicholas Butterworth, a representative for the group, said of his generation
"We're not just saying 'go vote because it's cool.'
We want people to be informed, active citizens."
Foley had joined the news conference outside the Capitol.
"Rock the System can bring the power of this generation to Washington to drive a steady beat of involvement... to affect what goes on in that building." Foley said of the Capitol. "I want this building to rock a little bit."
The 40-page "Rock the System" booklet looks like MTV video graphics on paper. Its pages are crammed with strange, disturbing images — a collage of a fetus inside the womb, a photograph of a bloodied gunshot victim and a cartoon of a gloved surgeon, hands pulling $100 bills out of someone's intestines.
The focus is on health-related issues that matter most to young people — pregnancy, AIDS, drug abuse, violence and mental health.
"Forget every mind-numbing fact you've heard about health care reform. Forget the arcane snipping between advocacy groups," reads the guide's introduction. "It all boils down to this: do you consider health care a basic right of all citizens or the personal responsibility of each individual?"
The booklet will be distributed at Tower Records stores and on college campuses during new student orientation.
Lawmakers evaluate state health care plan
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A legislative committee created by the 1994 Legislature to recommend changes in state health care policy met for the first time yesterday.
Most of the 12 members acknowledged the state has a long way to go on the issue.
However, Sen. Dick Bond, R-Overland Park, a member, said other states are trying to catch up with Kansas in health care reform.
"We've done it better than any other state," Bond said. "There it's lots more to do."
The Health Care Reform Oversight Committee began its organizational meeting by reviewing the status of federal health reform.
Sen. Sandy Praeger, R-Lawrence, the committee chairwoman, said she wants the committee to identify weaknesses in the present health care delivery system in Kansas.
"I think we've done a terrible job in this Legislature of telling the story of what we've been doing," Bond said.
The bipartisan committee was formed to recommend changes in state laws as required by any changes in federal laws.
